Re: New DuckDuckGo design
#2I've been using DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine for almost three years.
It's improved fairly steadily in that time (as measured by how often I end up falling back to appending "!g" to my search), but this is the single biggest improvement I can remember in my time as a user.
Aside from the auto-complete (which is nice), it feels significantly faster, and it's also easier to parse visually.
I'm really excited about seeing DuckDuckGo evolve, and it seems more and more people are as well: https://duckduckgo.com/traffic.html

#3Still not totally in love with it, but it's still my primary search engine. While looking for ways to alter the UI, found the Dark theme -- so that was a plus.

#4Really like the new update, but I still don't like how there is a dead click space between the results, and I find the background hover to be unnecessary.

#5What changed since the preview was announced? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7700192
The contrast on the main page is still too low.

My need for !g has certainly decreased, but I also find that when I do use it I often feel that the DuckDuckGo result was actually closer to what I wanted.
DuckDuckGo seems to be getting better, while Google is getting worse in some areas. The results that I get from Google is still impressive, but more and more it seems that they are making wrong assumptions about my wishes.

#7I hope a setting gets added to make the images and videos tab always display fullscreen results. The default display of only 4 images at a time is pointless to me. Good work otherwise.

#8I've never really bought into DDG, especially for its lack of features. It still can't match Google, but this is certainly a step in the right direction and gives me pause to think about using it at least once in a while now. Glad to see progress in search outside of Google for a change.

#9Instead of putting a large box at the top of some search results with what you think I want, why not put it to the side (the way Google does) and make use of the large amount of waster whitespace. I have tonnes of horizontal space available, not much vertical.

Is there anyway you know of to use DDG in the omnibar with some kind of autocomplete? That's the dealbreaker for me right now...I tried installing the chrome extension but it only lets you search in the omnibar by typing 'd'+space first, and still uses google's autocomplete (for "d [your search term], no less")
